Gonzaga Alums Help Deliver Meals

While the school was on spring break, three Gonzaga alums helped out delivering meals with the Campus Kitchen.

(L-R) Liam Hardy '02, Matt Cullinane '02, and Brendan O'Boyle '02 all pitched in with the delivery shift.

Even with all the hard-work that went into the cooking shift, the real job was only half-way done. Volunteers helped deliver the meals they made the following day.

One new idea we've been doing at the Campus Kitchen is distributing reflection hand-outs at the end of each shift. These are helpful in figuring out what volunteers got out of the shift. Some reactions from this shift:

"It was nice to meet some of Gonzaga's neighbors." - Anonymous

"I am starting to see a DC community instead of separate residents." - Tom Mason '07

"The general image is that [the residents] are mean, but reality set in when people chatted and said hellos." - Melissa DeLoach
